<description><![CDATA[Online ad-optimizing service PubMatic is now publishing an AdPrice Index with the average rates collected for remnant ads by 3,000 Web publishers. These are the ads that sites place from the big ad networks when they cannot sell the inventory themselves at normally higher rates. Small sites (those with less than one million page views per month) command nearly three times as much per ad as large sites (those with more than 100 million page views per month): an effective CPM (cost per thousand) of $1.18 versus $0.38. The effective CPM across sites of all sizes is $0.49. All of these figures are for March, 2008. Ad rates are also growing faster for small sites, up 18 percent since January versus 12 percent growth overall.The low average rates for large sites reflects the poor returns on social networks, entertainment, and gaming sites. Effective CPMs for social networks are amongthe lowest at $0.37 in March. But there is hope, that was up 69 percent from $0.22 in January.<br/><br/>5 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[After a long search that turned up no other buyers, Shawn Fanning's startup Snocap is being bought by music social network imeem. We first reported the deal in February. Imeem is officially announcing the deal today. Terms are not being disclosed, but we believe it was less than $5 million-a fire sale price compared to the $10 more than $15 million that was invested in Snocap. Fanning, most famous for founding Napster, may be getting a double payday because his other startup, Rupture, is also rumored to have been snapped up recently. For imeem, this is its second small acquisition, after buying Anywhere.FM in January.<br/><br/>4 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Prosecutors called Chi Mak the &quot;perfect sleeper agent,&quot; though he hardly looked the part. For two decades, the bespectacled Chinese-born engineer lived quietly with his wife in a Los Angeles suburb, buying a house and holding a steady job with a U.S. defense contractor, which rewarded him with promotions and a security clearance. Colleagues remembered him as a hard worker who often took paperwork home at night.Eventually, Mak's job gave him access to sensitive plans for Navy ships, submarines and weapons. These he secretly copied and sent via courier to China -- fulfilling a mission that U.S. officials say he had been planning since the 1970s.Mak was sentenced last week to 24 1/2 years in prison by a federal judge who described the lengthy term as a warning to China not to &quot;send agents here to steal America's military secrets.&quot; But it may already be too late: According to U.S. intelligence and Justice Department officials, the Mak case represents only a small facet of an intelligence-gathering operation that has long been in place and is growing in size and sophistication.<br/><br/>3 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Yahoo Music Vice President Ian Rogers has resigned to join a new stealth music startup called Topspin Media as CEO.This is a blow to Yahoo - Rogers is one of the few music industry insiders who have a clear vision for what the future of music should be. In 2007 he and former Yahoo Music GM Dave Goldberg told music insiders they must abandon DRM - a year later it was reality. Last year Rogers shocked the industry again when he told industry execs:<br/><br/>3 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[New service TagCow caused a bit of a stir over the weekend. The product seemingly solves the problem of auto-categorization and tagging of photos, something that seems to still be beyond the processing power and software skills of most startups.Users upload photos - thousands of them if they like - and within a few minutes the photos are returned with stunningly accurate descriptive keywords that facilitate searching and browsing later on. The product worked so well, and the site had so little description of the technology behind it, that I speculated that humans were doing the work in the background.<br/><br/>2 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Something big is brewing between Google and Ebay's Skype, we've heard from multiple sources. Actually, for weeks now there have been low level rumors of the two companies talking, but nailing down any details was difficult. New information, however, suggests that they are in current talks and that a partnership or outright acquisition may be announced in the near future.Skype, acquired in late 2005 for $3.1 billion, has been a financial albatross around Ebay's neck. eBay removed Skype co-founder and CEO Niklas Zennstrom in October 2007, reportedly due to frustration at the financial performance of Skype. Ebay also negotiated down the huge earnout due to Skype stockholders and took a $936 million one-time loss around the transaction.<br/><br/>7 Vote(s) ]]></description>

They placed the ad on Craigslist, which said that all the belongings were free for the taking at an abandoned house. They then joined in the mob that showed up for the goods.Their IP address was tracked by police through information supplied by Craigslist.<br/><br/>3 Vote(s) ]]></description>
